IMPROVEMENT IN FENCES.

TO ALL WHOM ITtMAY CONCERN: Y

Be it known that I, SAMUEL GOOD, of Greetsvillo, in the county of Darke, and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fences; .and do hereby declare -that the following is a full, clear, and exact description -thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, making a. part of this speeieation.

This fence is composed of a series of blocks or small panels, A A, made of burntclay, forming an article. similarto the common brick. C represents the base of the fence, which is made wider than the blocks A A, und is provided with a groove on each side for the purposes hereafter set forth. This base may be of any suitable material, and either placed upon or embedded into the earth. Each of the blocks A is so formed as to have four projecting pieces or feet, e e, which are bevelled, while the upper surfaces are provided with narrow grooves a a, into which these bevelled feet are set in when formed into a fence. One end of the upper surface projects outward, z, while the other end has an opening, x, of a size-t9 suit the size of thc projeeting end z. B B represent blocks, which are formed similar to the blocks A A, but are set at right angles with the blocks A A, every two or three apart, to ect as stays for the fence. In addition to the openings a:

' and projections z, at the ends, these blocks B have a projection, b, on their sides, (see Figure, 2,)- and an opening opposite, to correspond with the projections z of the blocks A. A I

'lhe fence is formed by placing the blocks first into4 the grooves in thc base C, and a series of'blocks A upon this row, so as to break the joints of the under row. The projections are set into the openings, and` the fence thus built of a height to suit, always having the blocks so that they get narrower as the fence is made higher.

into a fence, as specified. l

The sizes of the blocks may be made to suit, but I findv a base twelve inches` iny width and the top blocks six inches inches in width to be of suiicient strength and firmness to suit. One inch is thick enough for thohloeks,

but they may be of any size preferred.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The blocks A and B, when constructed substantially a's described, having a suitable hase, C, and formed In testimony that I claim the foregoing, I have hereunto sot my hand and seal this 27th day of August, 1867.
